They'll definitely ramp it up now.
Can't wait, maybe it'll be a bit more worth the money now!!

Make it a media center please! Add a BT multi-media remote and or gaming controller, with Jelly Bean for your TV. Now you got somthing. It needs HDMI too. I bet(hope) this is where they are going with it. Now Google's next big update will to unite the phone, tablet, and TV.

Apple would never ever do something like this in a million years. Lol.

1st off. Kinda but what Apple has is very limited. Apple TV will only see files (video, music, and more) that has been loaded into iTunes. Not the case with Google. Say hello network, and that's it. All of my videos, music, and more are now on my Android device with in minutes. It is also very hard to hook a gaming controller to Apple TV, it's doable but a pain to do so. Again not the case with Google. You get so much more with the Android option. Can you use whatever app to view your media with Apple TV? No you can't. You can with Android. By that time or even now. Just launch the XBMC app, or whatever app you want.

2nd. Apple did not invent everything, especially this not even close. They've been doing this for years on HTPCs. Long before Apple's miserable attempt at it. Apple came along and made this technology proprietary, limited, and locked down. Here comes Google doing it themselves whether it's from itself or an OEM, they just do it open. I'm sorry you can do almost (ALMOST!) everything you can do on an Android device that you can do on a HTPC, and it's much cheaper. Can Apple say this? No they can't. They are very limited in this technology. Sorry but I will be looking forward to an Android and or Nexus option.

I see upgrades to impliment "Ouya like" features being added to the Nexus Q in the near future...... mark my words.... The Nexus Q will become a game console.
